Python 3.0 Alpha 1 released: You want it because it’s cool.
August 31st, 2007 Posted in Personal, Programming
It doth seem that per the main python.org site, Python 3.0 (aka Python 3000, aka "WHERE IS REDUCE?", aka "There's a GIL?") is out and available! Hoorah!
If you want to know what's going on hit up the newly formatted "What's New?" docs (they use the new-style docs) and read up.
For code conversion - you're going to need the 2to3 tool from subversion linked off the py3k page.
Test, test and re-test! File bugs! This is an alpha - the final is slated for August 2008 (per the page) so remember, no warranty is implied here.
